Beautiful Balochistan is a land like a paradise that contains a wealth of minerals and resources. On the other hand, it is bigger than one hundred and twenty countries in the world. However, the cities in it are deprived of water. Most of the population in Hub City does not possess water which is a basic demand for survival.
The city’s need for water is being full filled by Hub Dam. The single canal is used for water to urban and rural areas of this city and passes through different forests, deserts, factories, towns and numerous areas of Hub city. Firstly, one can’t see water in it which means it is empty most of the time. Fortunately, if it rains then the employees leave the water. However, sometimes, the wind causes the water to be full of dust, litter, and trash. Factories throw their harmful waste inside this and due to inappropriate canal, the grass has grown in a big limit which bounds water to reach to its destination. Nextly, we as citizens, wash our vehicles in this water. Chemicals of the same vehicles go in the water and on the one hand, tankers take water to homes. Women also go to this canal for washing clothes. Thus, this water is being used in a number of ways, including drinking and for cleaning, which is highly dangerous.
Unexpectedly, the price of one tanker is in one thousand. This city is in one of the resourceful provinces and it itself is industrialization. Another problem is the presence of lead in the water.
Undoubtedly, in the summer season, citizens swim or take bath in water and we drink the same water. In addition, the corners of the canal are broken due to which the water changes its direction.
The factories use the water for their own needs. The Gatroon factory, which is huge and famous in Hub City, takes most of the water.
Crops of farmers are shrivelled every year due to the lack of water. This causes the lack of food availability, safety and marketing. Food insecurity is caused by the same thing. The residents of Hub City drink the same unhygienic water which puts the lives of citizens at a dangerous risk who use the same water to quench their thirst.
Additionally, the majority of the population is using undrinkable water which is not only creating several new diseases but also taking the lives of people who are unable to have their treatment from hospitals.
Unfortunately, the problem of polluted water is everywhere in Hub City, due to which generation is dying. It is my humble request to the concerned authorities to finish this problem. In order to save the new generation. There is a need for new laws to root out this issue.
